Hi I'm just wondering if when the PS3 Slim comes out whether or not it will come as a bundle with a game or will you have to buy the console and games seperately?

As of right now, the only Slim bundle that's been announced will be available only in Japan.

For the time being the slim will be sold on its own here. Don't be too surprised to see some bundles put together for the holiday shopping (or even by stores to help move sales/ clear out games).

My guess based on their recent history (for the NA market) -

  • November - 250 gig bundle with a game (pretty ps3 box with the game's art on it)plus a DL game voucher - $399 - they'llprobably use a game like Killzone 2 , LittleBigPlanet or inFAMOUS ..... something like Batman AA could be a possibility, but Sony would have to pay them good bit of money to bundle it whereas giving one of their own games is just the cost tomanufactureand package it.
  • November - holiday freebies with a ps3 - game + blu-ray movie - $299

Beyond that , who knows .... maybe a God of War III or Gran Turismo 5 bundle is in the cards day and date , but I wouldn't expect it. Those are rare , MGS4 is the only one I could think of that they did that for so far.

That would be nice, ive checked the google currency converter and they make $299 around £180 and $399 around £240. I dont know how sony is working the finance of the slim but its actually £249.99 here in every retailer so... £240 - £180 = £60 so the 250gb package you predict would be about £310 which is nice, although i cant wait longer than a week for this so i will stick with my plain slim and buy; KZ 2, LBP, Infamous, Batman and a headset, comes to £334 for all that and my console so thats also very good.

Important question... Aren't bundled packages usually $100 more expansive than say only the system, or are they the same price? Thanks. I've ordered a Slim too so I'd like to know this asap.

Has this been given a recise release date yet other than just putting it in November?

I hope they just mark this up with the Killzone 2 and MGS4 bundle.

They are sometimes a hefty load more to pay yes but theres usually a saving on all bundles, thats why we buy them. When i bought my 360 last year for example i got 2 new releases in my console bundle and it only added the price of one new release. And if sony put their own games in the packages they can just add the cost to manufacture that game. So there will nearly always be a saving of some kind.
